Rules of Engagement

1.) We post for nobody. What we do here, we do for ourselves. If it benefits anyone else, it is a coincidence that they find it as useful as we do. Someday we may be feeling generous and decide to help someone, but even then it won't be because they have asked it of us but because it pleases us to offer our assistance.

2.) We post in our own time. We will not plague this space with 'regular' posts. We will post only when we feel the need to do so, not because a preset time has come. If months pass without our presence, then you will just have to put up with it.

3.) We don't care what you think. No matter how much you may want to believe that we will care what you have to say or how much you think we need to fall into line with your way of thinking, I can promise you, it will not happen. By the same token, none of us expect you to care about what we say either and thus will not force our opinions on you. If you read this, it's your own choice so we will not take the blame if you don't like it.

4.) We will not hesitate to remove any comments that are left here that we don't like. Sometimes, just not having a clue who you are will be enough of a reason. If this is a problem, feel free to leave a comment. I'm sure you'll get the idea pretty quickly.

5.) Don't mock our spelling. We as a group have a better spoken vocabulary than most people coming out of university english courses these days. If we screw up the spelling on a rather obscure word and you pipe in telling us how stupid we are, I will direct you to the works of Chauser and then we will follow his example. You can have your 3 seconds of mockery, but we will eviscerate you in literature for all the world to see. If you don't think a blog can become that popular, then perhaps we won't need to put in the effort to make you look like the moron you are after all.

6.) At the end of the day, this is my blog. While I value the contributions that the few I have selected to share this space with, if I feel your post is not in the spirit of the blog, I will remove it. That includes you Ashen, you know I'm not down with your LJ links and whatnot. By the same token, if any of you start your own blogs, I'm happy to link out to you and thus help perpetuate the great circle of the internet. Should I be asked to post on your blogs from time to time, I would expect to be treated no differently than this.
